Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers got himself a nice deal with his new contract. However, it’s not the exact deal that maybe he wanted.
Although he previously denied asking for an opt-out clause — or at least referred to it as conjecture — Rodgers admitted he asked for that on Thursday. He and his agent, David Dunn, also explored having Rodgers’ salary tied to a percentage of the salary cap.
Those were non-starters for the Packers.
“The number of players on the active roster and counting on the salary cap is definitely a hindrance to some of that stuff,” Rodgers said.
